Tonkin Reservoir is still accessible for float tube and kayak anglers but shoreline fishing will be very difficult with the dense aquatic vegetation around the shoreline. If anglers do visit Tonkin Reservoir they are encouraged to exercise care when fishing and handling fish due to the higher water temperatures.

Special Regulations: Artificial lures only. Stream above reservoir is closed to fishing. Only boats without motors or boats with electric motors are permitted.
